Lularib Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 If we cannot expect to get the box fast (afterall the waiting is also part of the game, in this case), it would be really wonderful to have news about it. Was it opened? What was inside? Photos, please. It's been a week already since it arrived there. Quote Link to comment

+FLtravelers Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Wish I had known this would take so long. I delayed signing up because we were going to be away for the summer. Summer is almost gone and we're heading home. At this rate it could reach us in the summer of 2013 - God willing! Agree that pictures would keep the interest alive in the interim.

+MoonCatKDT & Peanut Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 One thing we should all keep in mind that in the original posts before we all signed up it was stated that this was going to take a long time. Think about international shipping times: Person A receives the package, spends a week opening it etc then mails it to Person B Postal services play kickball with the box for 3 ish weeks before they get around to delivering it Person B receives the package, spends a week opening it etc, then mails it to Person C Postal services play kickball with the box for 3 ish weeks before they get around to delivering it Person C receives the package. Rinse and repeat. Right there, we are looking at a bare minimum of 8 weeks, or two months, just for it to get to the third person. Since most of us will be sending the package by regular mail (not air mail or anything else fancy) as the cost will be too high, there's no guarantee the package will even make it there within 3 weeks (both myself and keewee know this well). We all know international shipping can take a long time. And, we all know life can get in the way of sending out a package. And lastly, we all knew what we were getting into. There is no reason for us to complain. Quote Link to comment

There is no reason for us to complain. I was not actually complaining myself, just thinking out loud and in type, if we figure each person keeps it a week and sends it back out then at least we have one factor that is stable, then only the mailing time is the problem. I think once it gets to the States if it stays there a while, it will pick up some time. Quote Link to comment
Lularib Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 I personally see everyone pretty calm and reasonable about the whole process. However, after waiting for it to reach the present holder, it is natural that people are curious and a little anxious to know what was inside there... This was never intended to bore anyone but the lack of information is a little boring to me, to be honest. Maybe I should just engage again in my yoga classes. Quote Link to comment

Well...Higher on a DIFFERENT list...I'll work on those soon. Afew more traveling Cache type Tags, where the first ten from the previous lists cannot be in the first ten of any newer list. That will give everyone a chance to get in the first ten. Of course you can sign up for all of them, since it looks like you'd only have to send out about 1 each year. Quote Link to comment
